2003 Summary Data Quality Report
This report provides selected statistical indicators of data quality in
the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The report presents
data on three general types of measures by state1:
(1) Outcome measures, including response rates, which are based on
disposition codes.
(2) Selection biases with respect to sex, age, and race/ethnicity.
(3) Missing values on income.
The measures in this report are designed to document the quality of BRFSS
data. “Data quality” in this report refers to the accuracy of BRFSS data.
Outcome Measures
The factors affecting the distribution of disposition codes by state may
be grouped into differences in telephone systems, sample designs, surveyed
populations, and data collection processes. Different outcome measures are
variously affected by differences in these factors.
Tables 1 and 2 present the frequency of the thirty-one individual final
disposition codes by state. Table 1 shows the distribution of all telephone
numbers of determined eligibility status in the sample. Table 2 presents
this distribution for numbers of unknown eligibility. The number of
completed interviews (110) plus the number of partial interviews (120)
divided by the total number of records by state is the Efficiency Rate.
Table 3 presents brief descriptions of each final call disposition code.
For more information on the BRFSS protocol and process for assigning
disposition codes, as well as a list of interim disposition codes, see BRFSS
Policy Memo 2001.1: BRFSS Disposition Codes.
Table 4 shows the frequency distribution and Table 5 shows the percent
(of all numbers in the sample) distribution of disposition codes for each
state grouped into several descriptive categories. The categories shown in
Tables 4 and 5 and used in the calculations of the outcome rates in Table 6
are defined below. P in the table below is the proportion of records with a
final disposition code of 210 for which more than half of the core
questionnaire prior to the demographics section was completed. These
interviews are included in the response rate numerator but are not used in
calculating estimates of risk factors and prevalences.

Table 6 provides six outcome rates for each state that are used to
measure respondent cooperation, data quality, and data collection
efficiency. The Resolution Rate is the proportion of all telephone numbers
in the sample for which the status of the numbers as households with working
numbers has been resolved. Records for which household status remains
unknown are excluded from the numerator. The formula for the Resolution Rate
is
The Screening Completion Rate is the proportion of all known
households in which the presence or absence of an eligible respondent
has been determined and in which, for eligible households, an
interviewer actually spoke to the selected respondent. Households in
which the presence or absence of an adult is unknown are excluded from
the numerator. Its formula is
![Formua: the sum of completed interviews, terminations and refusals, and ineligible households divided by the sum of the numerator and possibly eligible known households.](images/Image17.gif)
The Interview Completion Rate is the proportion of contacted selected
respondents who successfully complete an interview. This rate is a type of
cooperation rate. An alternate response rate definition is the product of
these three rates. The formula for the Interview Completion Rate is
![Formula: the number of completed interviews divided by the sum of the completed interviews and terminations and refusals.](images/Image18.gif)
The Cooperation Rate is the proportion of all respondents interviewed of
all eligible units that were actually contacted. Non-contacts are excluded
from the denominator. This rate is based on contacts with households
containing an eligible respondent. The denominator of the rate includes
completed interviews plus the number of non-interviews that involve the
identification of and contact with an eligible respondent. A Cooperation
Rate below 65 percent may indicate some problem with interviewing
techniques. The denominator of the Cooperation Rate consists of records with
disposition codes of 110, 120, 210, 220, 250, and 260. Thus, the formula for
the BRFSS Cooperation Rate is
![Formula: the number of completed interviews divided by the sum of the completed interviews, terminations and refusals, the selected respondent language problem code, and the selected respondent unable to complete code.](images/Image19.gif)
A response rate is an outcome rate with the number of completed and
partial interviews in the numerator and an estimate of the number of
eligible units in the sample in the denominator. A proportion of the
terminations (210) are included as partial interviews in the BRFSS CASRO
Response Rate calculation because more than fifty percent of the core
questionnaire was completed in these cases. The BRFSS CASRO Rate calculation
assumes that the unresolved numbers contain the same percentage of eligible
households as the records whose eligibility or ineligibility are determined.
This estimated level of eligibility provides a conservative response rate
due to the fact that the proportion of these unknown eligible telephone
numbers that are eligible is probably quite low, given the fifteen or more
call attempts required by BRFSS protocol. The formula for the BRFSS CASRO
Rate is
![Formula: The numerator of the BRFSS CASRO Rate is the number of completed interviews. Its denominator consists of the sum of completes, partial completes, eligible non-interviews, and the estimated proportion of cases of unknown eligibility that are eligible. The estimated proportion of cases of unknown eligibility that are eligible is determined by multiplying the cases of unknown eligibility by a factor calculating the proportion of cases of determined eligibility that are eligible. This factor is calculated by dividing the sum of completes, partial completes, and eligible non-interviews by the sum of this numerator and the ineligible cases.](images/Image20.gif)
The response rate is an indicator of the potential for bias in the
results of a survey. It does not indicate the actual amount of bias. The
actual amount of bias can be conceptualized as a function of two factors—the
amount of non-response, which is measured by a response rate, and the
differences between the respondents and the non-respondents. A response rate
does not address the latter factor. If the non-respondents are highly
similar to the respondents for the characteristics of interest, then even a
low response rate will result in little non-response bias.
Table 6 also presents the BRFSS Overall Response Rate. The Overall
Response Rate is a more conservative response rate that assumes that more
unknown records are eligible and thus includes a higher proportion of all
numbers in the denominator. The rate assumes that 90 percent of likely
households are households and that 98 percent of households contain an adult
who uses the phone number.
The Overall Response Rate formula is
![Formula: The numerator of the BRFSS CASRO Rate is the number of completed interviews. Its denominator consists of ninety-eight percent of the sum of completed interviews, terminations and refusals, possibly eligible known households, ineligible households, and ninety percent of the sum of likely households and answering machines.](images/Image21.gif)
The BRFSS Refusal Rate is the proportion of all eligible respondents that
refused to complete an interview or terminated an interview prior to the
threshold required to be considered a partial interview. Refusals and
terminations (TERE) are in the numerator, and the denominator is the same as
that of the Response Rate.
Selection Biases
Tables 7 through 14 present data on the differences between BRFSS and
population data with respect to sex, age, and race/ethnicity by state. In
these tables, BRFSS data are weighted for the characteristics of the sample
design—disproportionate sampling by geographic and density strata (where
they exist), number of telephones, and number of adults in the household.3
Since these factors are built into the sample design, they should be
adjusted for before comparing survey distributions to population
distributions. No standards exist to determine what constitutes a
substantial difference between survey and population percentages. One
approach would be to examine the distribution of discrepant values with the
purpose of identifying extreme values, or outliers, which may indicate
biased data.
Income Missing Values
Table 15 presents the percent missing (Don’t know/Not sure or Refused or
either) income by state. Income is the variable in the survey data with the
largest percentage of missing values. A larger percentage of missing values
for income implies lower quality data for income and, by extension, for
other variables.

to qualify as a 120. |
Give final disposition after second refusal or

second time because of an irate respondent. On the fifteenth or later
attempt, give final disposition after a single refusal or termination. |
220 |
Refusal after Respondent Selection |

before respondent selection. |
Give final disposition after second refusal or when a first-time refusal will not be called a second time because of an irate respondent. On the fifteenth or subsequent call attempt, give final disposition even if there is only one occurrence of a refusal. |
